The balun is made to Ballance 50 ohm to 200 ohm. We're you contemplating connecting wires where I have the coax and then a dipole to the other side. My biggest recommendation is to buy the ARRL antenna book and the hand book. Also there many on line how to articles as well
Well made balun. To see a pretty much flat SWR from a very low frequency into the VHF range shows your internal lead length are not too long and you hit a good impedance on the wire of the balun. Barry
This is a current balun double core stacked. Eight turns not counting the crossover turn in the middle, which technically makes each core nine turns. The wire is critical because the spacing center to center makes the ohms correct. PTFEconnection wire stranded silver coated makes 100 ohm spacing then when put together is 50 ohm.got the wire on eBay. The blue wrap is Blue Monster 3/4 to 1 inch wide Teflon tape three layer approximately.
I’m a new ham my question is can I hook a wire to one end and a ground to another 4 to 1 like yours to create an antenna or are they strictly used for connecting feed line

Is a Guanella 4:1 balun? What wire are you using? And what type of ribbon are you using to cover the toroid? Thanks
